Street Fair

Each Fall, the Downtowners produce an Arts, Craft, and Food show called Street Fair. This event was created by the Downtowners in 1973 as “Customer Appreciation Days” then grew into a full blown Street Fair. Street Fair is now in its 45th year. Arts, Craft, and Food vendors line the streets of Downtown Bismarck during Sept 15-16, 2018. See you there!
